Intro music and RSS generator
I picked some intro music for the hiking podcast and I’m still considering options for generating the podcast RSS feed. Here is the music for the hiking podcast. It’s a mellow and a little bluesy. I think it’s the perfect vibe. There are a few ways to generate the RSS feed. You can code it…

Dicking around with WordPress for the hiking podcast site
All damn day today I’ve been dicking around with WordPress trying to customize certain parts. I find editing blocks both frustrating and flexible. There are so many more things you can do with WordPress than when I first started using it. But the new system using blocks sometimes is confusing and it’s hard to find…

Finishing the edit on initial episode of the hiking podcast
I don’t like to edit. On my financial podcast, Chasing the Yield, I would put together a blog post, talk through that blog post while recording, import the WAV file into Audacity, apply normalization and a noise gate effect, then save and export to MP3. All that takes maybe 5 minutes at best. I’m not…

I’m going to start another new podcast
I’ve been so unsuccessful at my other two podcasts, this one excluded, that I feel I need to start another one. This one will be based around hiking. Since I moved to Georgia I go hiking with my dog Godfrey once or twice a month. I have a Zoom F2 Field Recorder with a lav…

It’s now June and I never relaunched my podcast
I’m stuck in the mud. I wrote back in February that I was going to relaunch this podcast. Well… it never happened. In fact, the other podcasts I was doing fell into the sinkhole that is my life. The most recent podcast I produced was on May 9, 2022. It was the one year anniversary…

I’m going to attempt a relaunch of this podcast
I started the idea to podcast a year ago because I was bored. I also learned about Podcasting 2.0 and started listening to their podcast. I was intrigued as to where they were headed specifically with Value4Value and streaming payments to podcasters or any other person making content distributed via RSS. Over the last year…
